To prepare, you will typically need to brown ground beef in a skillet. Once the beef is cooked, drain any excess fat. Then, add the contents of the seasoning packet and the dried pasta to the skillet. Pour in the specified amount of water and bring the mixture to a boil. Reduce the heat, cover, and let it simmer until the pasta is tender and the liquid has been absorbed, usually about 10-15 minutes. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking.
